Toure joined Brendan Rodgers to preview the Reds’ friendly against Adelaide United on Monday, and was quizzed as to why he ducked out of the opportunity to be photographed holding a koala earlier this week.
“You know I’m not really a big fan of animals!”, the 34-year-old told reporters. “It’s not just koalas of course. I have a dog which has lived in my house for seven years, but I’ve never even touched it!
“Since I was young I’ve never been big on animals, but I can see them from afar, it’s fine!”
Liverpool face Adelaide United at 10:30am (UK) on Monday and go into the game off the back of victories of True Thai All Stars and Brisbane Roar in the last week.
